By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

Cwillie, before the pneumonia, my Dad was doing fine for someone with late-stage Parkinson's. He was eating, drinking, talking (he talks very softly and broken with the Parkinson's), watching TV and enjoying the attention from the aides at the Assisted Living where he and my Mom live. I saw him on Thursday afternoon two weeks ago. He seemed extra tired, but still eating and functioning. By Friday afternoon, he had started to run a fever, and by Saturday, he was refusing to eat, drink, open his eyes--everything that he is doing now. HOWEVER, after being the hospital for a few days with IV antibiotics he showed a great deal of improvement--back to his old self. The hospital transferred him to a local Rehab/Nursing Home for rehab. After three days there, he began to show the same signs he showed the first couple days in the hospital--no eating, no drinking, striking out at the aides (something he has NEVER done before this), spitting his food and pills out at them, not opening his eyes.
He may indeed be ready to pass on. I just don't know. And, no Pam, I have never witnessed a resuscitation. All I know is that my Dad made it clear over and over again that he wanted EVERYTHING done to keep him alive. It may be beneficial to know that he does not now nor ever has had any kind of heart trouble, nor has anyone in his family. His relatives have all died of cancer.
Just about anything could happen next. I hope additional treatment for a UTI will resolve the entire issue. Know that you are doing the best you can, whatever happens.
